I downloaded all the publication records in the Neotoma database:
Of these 14190 records, only 3134 have DOIs. Of the 3134 articles
with DOIs, I searched for how many had internal document ids (XDD ids),
by looping all the DOIs through the API call:
https://xdd.wisc.edu/api/articles?doi=. Only 1473
publications had an internal ID with XDD.
I searched through the text of Neotoma publications for any that contained one of the following phrases, suggestive of a potential fuzzing process:
I searched using two slightly different API calls:
"https://xdd.wisc.edu/api/snippets?term=",term,"&doi=",doi,"&inclusive&full_results"
and
"https://xdd.wisc.edu/api/snippets?term=",term,"&docid=",docid,"&inclusive&full_results"
where doi references the DOI of the articles. (22.1% of Neotoma articles are associated with a DOI.) and docid references the internal XDD document id. (only 10.4% of Neotoma articles are associated with such an ID.) I assumed that the number of returns should be the same, because I expect that any Neotoma publications without an internal XDD document ID are not indexed by XDD. However, when I used internal XDD ID, I only got 16 results, while when I used the DOI, I got the below 377 results.
Now one questions is whether it’s feasible for me to go through and see if any of these papers really did fuzz their sites.
Neotoma has 44596 geochronological records, of which at least 6999 have an ambiguous material dated (material dated of bone collagen, bone, or blank).
I used the Neotoma geochronpublications table to find the publications associated with these ambiguous chron records. I found 898 publications associated with these ambiguous records. Then I filtered for just those with DOIs (n = 210), and I looked for how many were associated with an internal document ID from XDD (n = 45).
Finally I searched through all the articles in Neotoma with an internal document ID or with a DOI for the following terms:
This time, the docid search returned three results while the DOI search returned 103 results:
I guess I should go through the pubs and see if anything really turns up.
